Hi all, just started learning Kotlin! I'm a backend developer who is looking to use Kotlin in the backend, specifically for building apis. Out of curiosity, what companies use Kotlin on the backend? Is there a list out there? Most lists I see are for Android dev (which make sense).

I'd venture a guess to say many companies are beginning to do it. At my company, for example, most new services are being spun up using Spring Boot written in Kotlin

I know a company closeby that is written most of it in Kotlin: http://selma.ai
Not sure if they use spring, but the they were keen on using Kotlin and their codebase is solid. Also due to the developers obviously.

TL;DR: Spring Boot is the most established player but other newer frameworks are a bit more lightweight or faster.
